When the Wii first came out you may have heard of the “Wii Sports Experiment.” Some average joe decided to play Wii Sports for 30 minutes everyday for 6 weeks. In the process tracking all vital health statistics. His results are finally up, and they’re pretty interesting. Being the jerk that I am… I’ll ruin the ending for you, he lost 9 pounds!

Clearly the man was really getting into the games, bouncing around for boxing and taking full, tennis swings that would make plasma televisions shudder… but it’s still pretty damn impressive. I suppose this will draw the inevitable comment “Of course he lost weight, he’s moving for 30 minutes a day.” To which I say, shut up!

This post is devoted to the countless female Mii’s that this man surely beat up on during Wii Boxing Matches, all in the name of losing weight. I hope you’re proud of yourself sir.
